Research Summary

Across North America, fishways ensure upstream and downstream portions of waterways remain connected around dams. However, the efficiency of passage for each fishway design can be unique for different species. CanFishPass is an electronic inventory of fish passage facilities in Canada, and includes important information on the engineering and hydraulic specifications of the fishways as well as biological information related to the species using these structures. The database can easily be searched by species, fishway type, region, etc. If you have information regarding a fishway in your area that you would like included in the database please contact us via e-mail.
